Attendance 2.1 The meeting was attended by 45 participants from four States and three International Organizations, including India, Kenya, Somalia, Seychelles, IATA, ICCAIA and ICAO. A list of participants is provided at Appendix A to this Report. Officers and Secretariat 3.1 Mr. Len Wicks, Regional Officer Air Traffic Management (ATM), ICAO Asia and Pacific (APAC) Office, Mr. Elie El Khoury, Regional Officer ATM, ICAO Middle East (MID) Office, and Mr. Seboseso Machobane, Regional Officer ATM and Search and Rescue (SAR), ICAO Eastern and Southern African Office moderated the meeting. They were supported by Mr. Mike Boyd, ICAO Technical Officer, ICAO HQ (ANB/AMO). Language and Documentation 4.1 The working language of the meeting was English for all documentation and this Report. 4.2 A total of nine working papers (WP) and four information papers (IP) and two presentations were considered by the meeting. The list of working and information papers is attached at Appendix B to this report (IP01). Opening of the Meeting Opening Address 5.1 The Chairman of the Airports Authority of India (AAI ) and Member Air Navigation Services (ANS) AAI informed delegates about India’s future plans to upgrade the ANS systems such as High Frequency (HF) systems, ATM automations systems, surveillance systems etc. 5.2 The moderators welcomed participants to the meeting, and thanked the AAI for hosting the meeting. They outlined the general objectives of the AAMA/SCM, stressing that, due to the serious ATM safety issues outlined in the papers related to the Mogadishu Flight Information Region (FIR), the SCM needed to come up with a firm action plan to address the problems, so the status quo was not an option. 5.3 The meeting noted that there appeared to be only three options in the near future: either (1) improve the capability of Somalia, or (2) delegate the upper airspace to an Air Traffic Services (ATS) unit which could provide the services in compliance with ICAO Standards; or (3) impose restrictions for flight operations within the Mogadishu FIR that restored an appropriate level of safety. In this regard, ICAO recalled that the meeting was not dealing with a classic case of contingency planning whereby services might degrade from a class A ATC service, as Mogadishu was already operating as only a class F [uncontrolled] advisory service (although the airspace was currently classified as class ‘G’ (uncontrolled). i AAMA/SCM Report of the Meeting REPORT ON AGENDA ITEMS Agenda Item 1: Welcome and Adoption of Provisional Agenda 1.1 The provisional agenda (WP01) was adopted by the meeting, noting IP01 (Tentative List of Working and Information Papers). Agenda Item 2: Review of AFI-APAC-MID Large Height Deviations (LHD) and other interface safety concerns RASMAG Safety Concerns (WP02) 2.1 The ICAO APAC Office presented relevant information from the Twenty-First Meeting of the Regional Airspace Safety Monitoring

    AIRLINE ALLIANCES by Paul Stephen Dempsey Director, Institute of Air & Space Law McGill University Copyright © 2008 by Paul Stephen Dempsey Before Alliances, there was Pan American World Airways . and Trans World Airlines. Before the mega- Alliances, there was interlining, facilitated by IATA Like dogs marking territory, airlines around the world are sniffing each other's tail fins looking for partners." Daniel Riordan “The hardest thing in working on an alliance is to coordinate the activities of people who have different instincts and a different language, and maybe worship slightly different travel gods, to get them to work together in a culture that allows them to respect each other’s habits and convictions, and yet work productively together in an environment in which you can’t specify everything in advance.” Michael E. Levine “Beware a pact with the devil.” Martin Shugrue Airline Motivations For Alliances • the desire to achieve greater economies of scale, scope, and density; • the desire to reduce costs by consolidating redundant operations; • the need to improve revenue by reducing the level of competition wherever possible as markets are liberalized; and • the desire to skirt around the nationality rules which prohibit multinational ownership and cabotage. Intercarrier Agreements · Ticketing-and-Baggage Agreements · Joint-Fare Agreements · Reciprocal Airport Agreements · Blocked Space Relationships · Computer Reservations Systems Joint Ventures · Joint Sales Offices and Telephone Centers · E-Commerce Joint Ventures · Frequent Flyer Program Alliances · Pooling Traffic & Revenue · Code-Sharing Code Sharing The term "code" refers to the identifier used in flight schedule, generally the 2-character IATA carrier designator code and flight number. Thus, XX123, flight 123 operated by the airline XX, might also be sold by airline YY as YY456 and by ZZ as ZZ9876.

  • Evaristus M. Irandu University of Nairobi Nairobi, Kenya Dawna L
    Journal of Air Transportation Vol. 11, No. 1 -2006 THE DEVELOPMENT OF JOMO KENYATTA INTERNATIONAL AIRPORT AS A REGIONAL AVIATION HUB Evaristus M. Irandu University of Nairobi Nairobi, Kenya Dawna L. Rhoades Embry-Riddle Aeronautical University Daytona Beach, Florida ABSTRACT Air transportation plays an important role in the social and economic development of the global system and the countries that seek to participate in it. As Africa seeks to take its place in the global economy, it is increasingly looking to aviation as the primary means of connecting its people and goods with the world. It has been suggested that Africa as a continent needs to move toward a system of hubs to optimize its scarce resources. Jomo Kenyatta International Airport in Nairobi, Kenya, is one of the airports in the eastern region of Africa that is seeking to fill this role. This paper discusses the prospects for success and the challenges that it will need to overcome, including projections through 2020 for the growth in passenger and cargo traffic. _____________________________________________________________________________ Evaristus M. Irandu received his Ph.D. in Transport Geography from the University of Nairobi. He is a Senior Lecturer and formerly, the Chairman of the Department of Geography and Environmental Studies in the University of Nairobi. He teaches Economic and Transport Geography, International Tourism and Tourism Management, at both undergraduate and graduate level. His research interests include: aviation planning, liberalization of air transport, non-motorized transport, urban transport, international tourism and ecotourism.
